Beautiful, secluded campground! It wasn't full, which almost made it feel like we had the whole place to ourselves. We were a little sad we only had one night here.

This site has been severely neglected and does NOT have a fire ring/grill in it. This site was nice and private, however, and the atmosphere was quiet and tranquil. We have camped here in the past and had great experiences! We love it here and will continue to camp here however want to warm future campers of the lack of fire ring/grill so they are able to plan accordingly.

The Douglas firs at this campground were so majestic that it was like camping in the midst of the redwoods. Water faucets were plentiful, and we appreciated the clean toilets!

Beautiful forested campground. Loved the trail loop around the campground that had multiple areas for river access! Also fun to explore the nearby Iron Creek and Camp Creek Falls, and Layser Cave.

Wonderful camping, stayed cool by the river and checked out Iron Creek Falls about 10 miles south of the campground it is really cool! Also love the spirit lake trail (maybe it’s called harmony something). We experienced beautiful wild flowers, tons of waterfalls and breathtaking views cruising around Mt. Saint Helen’s and Mt. Rainer.

Camp sites are very nice, with quality fire pits and picnic tables. Sites are relatively spread out, with lots of plant life between spots. We loved walking the trail that surrounds the campground. Iron Creek is very beautiful. The hosts were both very helpful. We would definitely recommend this campground!
